Universal Truths

Imagining for Another

I was going to share about the Natural Law of Growth today and used my morning hour train ride to tell you how I've been applying this to manifest an "ideal" next step regarding my new corporate role. How quick an hour passes by these days. 

In the meantime however, a subject of far greater urgency came to the forefront and so the hour trip home, and some, have been dedicated to this matter of monumental importance.   

You see Gabriella Salmon desires a man! And she's written to the Universe to bring her love forth. That's right, my Clayton's Lil Sis (aka GabStar, and a host of other terms of endearment) assured me today, and no doubt others, in her Post "A Single Story" that she is soooo ready to receive a partner that to save her from bursting at the seams, I'm sharing instead about the importance of being able to "Imagine for One Another".

Neville Goddard, in and amongst a plethora of other outstanding new thought thinkers, who assures us that "Imagination is the only reality".  He goes so far as to say that it is the one and only Cause of Life and all it's presenting conditions.  He also tells us to give all our attention to the assumption that a thing is so, because all responsibility to make it so is completely removed from our shoulders. 

 

"You do not have to make a thing so, it IS so. You appropriate what is already fact, and walk in the assumption that it is, and in a way that you do not know, I do not know, no man knows, it becomes objectified in your world."

My partner and most beautiful friend, Anthony, Co-founder of Universal Truths, is a man who has elicited the best-worst and the best-of-my-best from me. He has also "Imagined for me" on many, many occasions.  Whenever I speak of desiring a better condition from something or someone, and knowing the importance of being able to move away from desiring and toward gratitude, he holds me in "ideal", he Imagines well for me and holds the feeling of the wish fulfilled for me; as I do for him.

On our own this is not always a simple task.  After all, we are emotionally invested in outcomes and are not always able to detach from the temporary conditions that show the absence of what we desire.  Having studied these concepts deeply, and tried and tested them with convincing results, I am going to join with the young Gabriella by Imagining "ideal" for her - and I invite you to do the same. 

We don't have to know someone personally to do this. It's as simple as thinking about, or imagining what it would be like when any person's deepest desire transpires. It's as simple as choosing a final scene of sorts that would indicate to you that a young, passionate woman has found a new love. 

In doing so there is also something in this for each of us...it's a great opportunity to turn our thoughts away from our own all consuming world for a moment and practice experiencing the joy, expectation and gratitude of "wishes fulfilled" through someone else.

We are told that as we sow, so shall we reap.  The Subconscious Mind doesn't recognise whether what we give our attention to is for us or for another; it simply attracts a vibrational match. So while we are assisting someone else get what they want we are also priming ourselves, vibrationally, to get what we want. 

For me this now means that every time I hear, see, think or speak of Gabbie, I will say "and her beautiful partner". I'm beginning now to imagine her smiling and laughing a lot. I'm visualising us speaking on the phone about him and being visited on the mountain by them. We'll read posts of their adventures together as they grow and become.

I believe there is no faster way to grow and become a greater version of ourselves then in relationship. And so, my desire for Gabbie is her desire for herself. I know and trust it's for her highest good, come what may.

I see you Gabbie, just as I see others and hold them in "ideal". I'm imagining well for you - oh she who is now metamorphosing from her steel shelled cacoon, to the essence of power and presence that can only be found through the display of femininity, gentleness and beauty. 

Rest well fair maiden for your knight in shining armor awaits to arouse you. [pun intended] :)

until I post again...

Too Cool For You

"Keys to a Better Life" 

How do I get rid of an old thought?

 
During the week, a friend of Universal Truths said and asked the following:

"I’ve been thinking about something and have a question. I realised that ever since growing up, I carry with me a standard that was past on to me which hasn’t served me any good then and now. It's a process that I recognise is getting in the way of my ability to be appreciative of others.

Growing up, I would take one look at a person and 'measure' their coolness. 

“I got teased when I was younger,
so I go out of my way to make sure I ‘fit in’.”

I have these categories where I put people in certain types of groups: 'people that are way too cool for me'; 'people that are cool enough'; 'people that aren’t so cool but I would still hang out with'; 'people that aren’t cool at all'.

I don’t just do that to others, I do it to myself as well. I put myself in one category as if that’s where I belong.

Today, I know it's getting in the way of feeling free to be me with others I encounter.

“How do I get rid of an old thought?”

Whilst there are a number of discussion points around this undesirable condition, this post has been primarily written to address the question: How do I get rid of an old thought?

The first Universal Truths Key to a Better Life is Awareness. Only by acknowledging or becoming aware that something or someone may no longer be serving our expansion towards living our highest expression, can we do something about it.

Further, the problem is never the problem! The problem here is not that this person had limiting beliefs passed on to them, or that they are unable to fully appreciate others, or that they got teased growing up, or that they categorise themself and others. These are all conditions and whilst many conditions from our past need acknowledgement and forgiveness, they are not today's problem. In fact, I would go so far as to say, there is no problem. Rather, what we have here is another opportunity to ‘feel free to be me’.

A distinction between what we do and what other personal development and psychological approaches do is that the latter often addresses the conditions and asks ‘why’ a lot. Why don’t you appreciate others? Why do you think you got teased? Why don’t you feel cool? And so on… Upon delving into these questions there is often an element of criticism that emerges for one self and others. Also, in our experience ‘why’, in this context, is useless because it is endless…

Instead, at Universal Truths, we turn Key 2 and suggest that once our awareness toward desirable or undesirable conditions has been identified, we become The Great Observer. That is, from a place of uncritical observation we consider ‘what’ impact has this style of thinking had? ‘What’ style of thinking is this? e.g. is it physical or spiritual, contracting or expanding, regressive or progressive?  ‘What’ feelings does this thinking generate? And, ‘what’ conditions did it produce?

Making uncritical observations broadens our awareness enabling us to become better equipped to contain situations, welcome them by understanding there are new gifts about to revealed, address them from the present moment, and progress in an easier, more elegant, and rapid manner.

Key 3 is to Refine our Imagination and is a real key in the ‘how to’ process. The masters tell us that ‘how’ is not our role to play. Rather, our role in the co-creation of our ideal life is to define and refine the ‘what’. 

We change old thoughts, word, actions and conditions by asking questions like, “What do I now desire?  e.g. my desire is to feel free to be me and to appreciate others. What feelings would the accomplishment of these new desires produce? e.g. feelings of freedom and liberty, respect and appreciation, oneness, worthiness etc. Who will this allow me to be? e.g. loving, friendly, fun to be with, relaxed, uniquely expressive. What new conditions will this new way of thinking produce? e.g. I’ll get to meet new and interesting people, enjoy beautiful interaction, and appreciate a variety of personal expressions. I get to express myself freely.

The more consideration and aliveness we give to Key 3 the faster we move from where we are to where and what we next desire to be, to do, and to have. You may wish to review the Phases of Change post for more detail about this process (a link has been provided at the end).

Once we have refined our imagination and given definition and life to the next greatest version of who we wish to be, the fourth and final key in the process is to be Grateful for the inevitable and joyous experiences that are already present, but which we haven’t been able to notice, as well as the new ones now rushing towards us through the natural Law of Growth and Cause of Life.

The moment we imagine what we now desire, the greater part of us, our eternal essence or the Spirit of Life becomes it immediately and through our focussed attention on what we want and how that feels now, we attract from Spirit its correlating matter or form. That is, we attract the like conditions.

So, in summary, my answer to the question, 'how do I get rid of an old thought?' is; by replacing it with a better one. And a process to do so is through the application of the four Universal Truths “Keys to a Better Life”.

1. Become aware of it (the undesirable thought and/or correlating condition(s)).
2. Contemplate it from a place of uncritical observation.
3. Refine your imagination by defining what you now desire.
4. Be grateful for its completion by detaching from anything unlike your new desire, focussing on like thoughts, and feeling the feelings of your wishes fulfilled.

Try it for yourself and let us know how you go…

until next time…

My Ideal Week

"Keys to a Better Life"

I use the Universal Truths - Four "Keys to a Better Life" (Awareness + 1, 2, 3), to plan and prepare my ideal week.

I also take inspired action to get there... Where's there? The feeling of the wish fulfilled.

Key 1: Awareness + 1: from a place of Uncritical Observation

I have reviewed my previous week's conditions to recognise what moments were not ideal. My feelings are my guidance system.

I know I'm observing my past experiences critically when I get sucked into the drama; and I know I'm observing them uncritically when they inform me how I felt when that person and those conditions presented them-self.

Key 2: What's ideal?

Knowing what I don't want, I then contemplate and discuss (only ever with myself or Anthony) what I would rather feel. What would I feel were I to have a great week?

Key 3: Desire / Imagination

I design a single scene that would imply fulfilment of my desire and I attach a short phrase (up to 3 words) to it, like, “This is great!”, “I love it”, “Perfect”.

Having clearly established what it would feel like to experience an ideal outcome in any area of my life, I hold my will here (to the thought + feeling most predominantly generated in the above activity).

In my meditations, I make there-here and then-now until my picture is so alive with feeling as to make it Believable. Then I desire it no more. I can never experience in form anything I keep separate from me. To continually desire something implies that I don't yet have it.

Key 4: Detach

Throughout the week, in my mind, I will continue to Be the person who has had a great week and I’ll frequently, throughout each day, feel that feeling and repeat that phrase.

I’ll spend many moments in gratitude that all that I require is already available and keeps 'showing up' at the right and perfect time, in the right and perfect form.

Until next time…

Another Euphoric Day

 
"Keys to a Better Life"

I’m grateful that the sun shone brightly today....on every area of my Life.  My desire is for more of these experiences that give me cause to feel Euphoric.

If you’re reading this Blog Post, it's because you are significant in my life. You can be assured of that because a) we are somehow connected; and b) by my concept of you, you provide a contextual field of my available choices in this Buffet of Life.  And, this occurs regardless of how near or far we think we are in time and space.

I fall more and more in Love when I think from the place of; it's not about whether or not we like each other, it’s about Loving each other for assisting us become clearer about who we now wish to Be, what we imagine that Being will enable us to Do, and what that Doing allows us to Have and to Express – as an individual, a partner, a parent, a family member, a friend, a colleague, a business owner, a resident of a state, a citizen or visitor in someone’s home or country, and as a representative of humanity.

Depening on how you choose to express yourself today and my interpretation of that personality, based on my current beliefs and values, you play your part in providing me with immense choice. For that, I have only Love for You.

If we're not contemplating and expressing our personal personality
in every moment, then we are expressing learnt behaviours,
inherited beliefs or adopted values.

Our personal version of Planet Beautiful is possible when we become responsible for, and ordered in, our every thought and feeling. Those not living an ideal life, and wish to with every cell in their body, will know they are ready to do so when they realise they are already living it. 'Now' is part of it.

Becoming aware of, observing, and choosing our every thought and feeling causes us to truly experience this ‘Now’ and enables us to design the next version with purpose, clarity, accuracy and pure intent. Our journey is not haphazard it is always precise, on purpose and valuable right now.

We are always being a demonstration and expression of Life.

By ordering our thoughts and feelings it becomes possible to be still enough to hear what initially is the soft angelic voice of Divine Guidance’s whisper, beckoning us Gently and Lovingly forward. Soon enough it becomes the same volume as the sound of our voice in our head. 

We all desire Order and “Order is Heaven’s First Law”.

There is no one else to show us how to know Love (Life), for knowing Love is a unique, personal journey that we alone are to enjoy with the Source of Life. There is no other you on the planet that is coming to play your part.

We’re always telling others what Love is. We’re always showing others.

Everyday we’re consistently Being our best individual expression of Love!

Gratitude (Part 5 of 5)

 Key No. 4 – GRATITUDE

Having an attitude of Gratitude is the final Universal Truths Key in the four step approach to living a ‘better life’.

Gratitude is the fastest concept we’ve tested that puts us in the essential state required to manifest our heart’s desires.

Neville Goddard refers to this stage as Detachment.  He teaches us to deny what our five physical senses currently transmit to us about ‘what is’ and instead use each of these senses together with the creative power of Imagation to design what we would now like to experience, feel, be, do and have.  He tells us to live in the feeling of the wish fulfilled. By doing so, our Imagination inevitably creates our new reality.

Abraham-Hick says relax and allow.

Believe
Breathe
Receive

The most rapid and lasting way we have discovered to live in the feeling of our wishes fulfilled is to be grateful for the feelings our desired outcomes cause us to experience in the NOW.

The stories we tell our Self, all day every day, determine our feelings. Our feelings are our moment by moment guidance system that indicates to us NOW what we are CREATING in our FUTURE.

Are you telling yourself a story that generates images and feelings you can express gratitude for, or are you telling yourself a horror story? Does your life exude feelings of joy, inspiration, clarity, energy, excitement, motivation, courage and purpose?  Or, does it feel upstream, a constant struggle, filled with anxiety and worry, apathy and confusion, without direction and purpose?  Or, maybe you have settled for something in between?

“What’s required to change?”, you might ask?  Our response, “How far is a decision?”  How long before you are willing to tell yourself a new story about 'what is'?

Gratitude is Heaven Itself. – William Blake
